Chapter 209 Found
Shi Xia returned to the island for the third time, taking advantage of the sudden downpour to continue the search.

The dense raindrops, like small pebbles, pounded against the bushes and shrubs, creating a continuous, pattering sound.

The rain brought the smell of mud, silt, and rotting leaves, a foul stench mixed with a fishy odor.

Shi Xia bent over and stumbled forward, trying to protect herself from both the patrolling people and the minefield.

Not only that, she also had to divert her attention to searching for the trapped team members.

She found five of the eight team members, and there were still three left.

The team consisted of three members, a scientist, a mentally challenged person, and two staff members who were ostensibly there to deliver the ransom.

Seven people!
One hour, two hours.

Shi Xia continued her search tirelessly, even as the heavy rain seemed to be stopping.

No, we have to get there before the rain.

Although superpowers can still be used after the rain, patrol personnel will speed up, greatly increasing the difficulty of the retreat.

Shi Xia sped up, her face covered in countless cuts from withered branches and leaves, and her palms were so worn that the lines on her hands were no longer visible, only covered in mud and rotten leaves.

The supernatural ability continued the search, leaving no corner unexplored.

They must have gone into hiding with their men.

The superpower can reach any place where water has been.

The supernatural power that had swept across the plane suddenly moved downwards. Shi Xia rushed over, only to find that the underground area was empty.

Good news, she found the person.

Bad news: Wen Cheng-an is not here.

Five people were found, but Wen Cheng'an and the woman who caused all this trouble were missing.

The scientist who was the main target of the rescue apologized to Shi Xia.

Shi Xia only glanced at it.

"Give your life back to the country."

"I will! I will!"

He was truly sorry; he never imagined his daughter would cause such a terrible disaster.

Of the five people in front of him, one was on his last breath. Shi Xia used a bit of her supernatural power to try to protect the other's heart and at least get him back to China.

Another soldier's kneecap pierced through his flesh, the bloody white bone sticking out as if to say to the enemy: Come on!

The remaining few also sustained injuries, but fortunately none were fatal and they were still able to move.

Shi Xia carried the most seriously injured person on her back as well, while the others supported each other and, led by Shi Xia, gradually evacuated.

The rain stopped when they reached the shore.

Shi Xia cursed inwardly, there was no time to waste, the same explanation, the same overseas returnee.

"Run! Hide!"

After seeing them off, Shi Xia went back to her hiding place.

They encountered pursuers who had spotted the footprints and were chasing after them halfway there.

Shi Xia deliberately made noise to lure away the patrolmen. After making sure everyone followed, in a secluded corner, all the raindrops on the leaves turned into bullets.

shhhhhh!
The patrolmen hadn't noticed anything wrong; one second they were talking, and the next they were lying on the ground.

Shi Xia rushed out without blinking, ripped off one person's clothes, and kicked him into the sea.

She changed into a patrolman's uniform, took his weapon, and continued searching for Wen Chengan.

She explored the entire island, from day to night.

But there was no trace of Wen Chengan.

Shi Xia hid in a tree hole, munching on the dry rations she had taken from the patrolmen.

Where are you?

"If it's not on the island, does that mean it's not on land...?"

Shi Xia's eyes suddenly lit up. Wen Cheng'an had used that woman as bait to lure away the pursuers, giving the others time to escape.

He is most skilled in water, so will he travel by water?
Shi Xia ate the dry rations in one gulp, crouched low as she came out, and ran all the way to the shore, where she used her supernatural abilities to probe inside.

The shoreline surrounding the entire island. None!

No!

No—hmm?

After entering a shallow area, you'll find yourself on a small sandy beach with a cave on it.

What a secluded place!

someone!

two!

Shi Xia was certain that the other person was Wen Cheng'an, so she quickly jumped into the sea and swam over.

At the same time, in the cave.

Wen Cheng'an was shot in the arm and had large wounds on his back. He was sitting at the entrance of the cave, eating a raw fish.

"Hey, you're injured. Let me put some medicine on you."

"Get lost! If you dare come near me, I'll kill you!"

Wen Cheng'an didn't turn his head, but the seriousness in his words made the woman behind him purse her lips, while also revealing a competitive glint in her eyes.

"Why are you like this? I didn't do it on purpose. Who knew they would be so unreasonable?"

"Is your brain filled with shit? Trying to reason with pirates, you idiot!"

Wen Cheng'an is no longer just sarcastic; he's openly criticizing, doing whatever he feels good.

I just got married, and I haven't even had a chance to truly get to know my wife, and this idiot has dragged me into this mess.

Most importantly, he clearly witnessed a comrade's sacrifice.

If it weren't for the responsibilities he carried, he would have killed the woman behind him long ago.

"You're completely unreasonable! You brute!"

Wen Cheng'an ignored the other party and continued to eat the raw fish to replenish his strength.

The rain stopped, and he prepared to rush out one more time to find his comrades.

The woman behind her pouted. She thought the people here were so strange, and so was her father. Why did he have to come back? Wasn't it better to stay abroad?
God knows, she's never suffered any hardship before, yet now she's eating a raw fish in this dilapidated cave.

"Cook it thoroughly for me, I can't eat it like this."

"Let me tell you, if I'm unhappy, I won't let my dad help you!"

Wen Chengan snorted.

"Whatever! I don't care, I'll starve if I don't eat!"

"you--"

The woman was furious. She stood up angrily, grabbed her mud-covered skirt, went behind Wen Cheng'an, and kicked him in the back.

Wen Chengan noticed and dodged to the side. The woman kicked at empty air and, unwilling to give up, rushed to the cave entrance and the edge of the sea.

"I don't care whether I live or not, I'll just jump in and drown myself, making your mission fail!"

"When my dad finds out you didn't protect me, he'll really hate you two!"

"Humph!"

Wen Cheng'an's fingernails dug deep into the mud, and his teeth were grinding together. At this moment, he really wanted to become a demon on the spot and kill her!
But the sacrifices of our comrades cannot be wasted, and the responsibilities on our shoulders cannot be abandoned.

"Grandma's!"

Wen Cheng'an cursed and sat up, reaching out to pull the other woman. The woman looked smug, knowing she could control him.

"Hmph, if only you had done this earlier—ah—"

A hand suddenly appeared at the woman's ankle, and the next second, the woman fell headfirst into the sea with a splash.

Wen Cheng'an instinctively reached for his weapon, and the next second a familiar head emerged from the sea, making his head buzz.

"I won't die."

After leaving three words, Shi Xia submerged herself back into the water, trapping the woman who was flailing her arms wildly. She grabbed the woman's neck with one hand and exerted force.

Gulu!
